A Little Discipline Never Hurt Anyone

Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat file this dispatch from the political right wing frontier.

The Right-Wing Authoritarian Lite believes a little discipline never hurt anyone, ideally everyone, ideally on a Tuesday. Our editor Alan Nafzger, of The London Prat, files these field notes on the Right-Wing Authoritarian Lite mindset, with help from the Home Office and the UK Judiciary.
